3.3v + CH5 worth it?

I have some mushkin pc3500 level 1 (ch5 I believe) that I want to push farther(My computer will boot all the way up to 250 mhz fsb, but memory gives me problems at anything over 230 with even lax timings) I am aiming for 240 x 10. How safe is it to give the ram 3.3 volts?(vdimm=I/O mod)
 
Well, unless you PSU is moded to give a high 3.3v rail, then you will not beabel to give it 3.3v, you can only go as high at you 3.3v rail. most stock PSU run around 3.1-3.2v

I run my CH-5 @ 3.2 (true 3.2v) 2.5-3-3-11@ 235-240MHz, if you can even post Dual channel CH-5 at 250 consider your self lucky, most CH-5 just dosnt have it in it to ruin that fast...Even i wouldnt run 3.3v for too ling, and i have been known to push limits on voltage jsut for a few mHz.


you want BH-5 for some real overclocking...

so my recoumendation is NO, 3.3v is too muich for extended times.
